⭐️ Why Join Us
User Interviews is a fully remote team (even in the before times). We are proactive about staying connected to each other despite not sharing the same physical space. Remote culture is real and we care about it—a lot.
We’re a team of doers. You’ll be fully supported by your manager and team, but there won’t be anyone peering over your shoulder. You’ll be expected and trusted to take ownership of your work, and to communicate clearly and transparently with your distributed teammates.
On a related note, we’re very pro-feedback. From our users, of course. But also from each other. From individual contributors right up to the CEO, this is a team that is genuinely committed to continuous improvement.
🧩 About User Interviews
At User Interviews, we believe that the best companies in the world consistently deliver products and experiences that their customers love. We also believe that the only way to consistently build those products and experiences is to talk to your customers. Watch what they do. Understand why they do what they do. Figure out why they do things that seem irrational. And after you’ve done that once, do it again.
We help teams set up those conversations (i.e. user research), enabling them to discover and embrace user insights. We specialize in participant recruitment and management because you cannot do good research without good participants, no matter how good your other tools may be.
Our “Recruit” product allows researchers to source participants for any type of research study. Our secret sauce is our matching engine – which can find niche participants (e.g. SMB owners who use Toast POS systems, software developers who use Azure, moms who buy Kellogg’s Corn Flakes) in hours.
Our “Research Hub” product allows teams to build a research panel / research CRM to manage and coordinate research with their own customer contacts.
We work with over a thousand of companies each month, including user-centric organizations like Microsoft, Amazon, Atlassian, Spotify, and Colgate-Palmolive. We raised a $27.5M Series B last December.
